102 Britton Avenue,
Atherton
Located on approximately 1.2 acres in the most exclusive area of Atherton – the Menlo Circus Club – this home is ready to enjoy today or offers the opportunity to further renovate or even build new. The well-appointed, solar-powered, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home exudes a Craftsman’s flair with hardwood and heated slate tile floors, extensive custom cabinetry, and wood-trimmed windows and doors. The one-level floor plan takes full advantage of the prolific gardens that surround the home culminating at a pool, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, and fire-pit terrace. There is a separately fenced orchard and 16-bed vegetable garden, amazing rose and flower gardens, plus an all-glass greenhouse to service it all. Atherton is ranked the #1 most exclusive zip code in the country by Forbes magazine and is close to Stanford University, Sand Hill Road venture capital centers, and Silicon Valley tech centers.
